Sustainability

Sustainability, as defined in 1987 by the World Commission on Environment and Development, means "forms of progress that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs."

The working definition of sustainability is the capacity of a community to meet current needs without degrading the ecological, social, and economic systems on which the community will rely for meeting future needs.

 Living and working sustainability means to conserve the health and well-being of people, economies, and the environment. MICA seeks to be a leader in local, regional, and global sustainability efforts. This website documents MICA's efforts in sustainability and provides numerous resources for individuals, organizations and communities.
